trump, musk, dana white, joe rogan, tucker…

can anyone say “toxic masculinity”?
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Whether right or wrong, a number of younger white males are tired of people flinging that term, "toxic masculinity" ( along with being labeled "incel" etc ) around.

A number of younger white males feel they've born into being the villain.

Again, right or wrong, this ( along with the promise from the Republicans that they can somehow fix this ) is a reason for the 18-29 year old conservative shift.

Those gamer enclaves are more generally to blame. They get hours of explosive reasoning and 8-chan battle buddies

Will be interesting to see if they choose to go down this path before the midterms.

Nope.

But it's risk-reward, right?

Assuming they end up with control of the House, I could see them taking advantage of the trifecta while they know they have it...or I could see them pressing their luck to avoid losing it before the 2028 campaigns.

which reminds me that i’ve been meaning to do some searching about what they got done the last time they held all three. i don’t recall that they were particularly effective legislatively, but i could be misremembering

Next to nothing.

Which, if we had a political media that was more interested in journalism than bookmaking, would have been attached to every single soundbite in which Harris was attacked for not doing whatever it is she was supposed to have been doing with her powers as VP.

the system is broken, it's been broken, and we just gave the keys to a guy that wants to completely and totally disassemble it.

When I mentioned choices and was resoundly reminded that "what do mean? you HaVe choices! the other guy is a felon and racist and on and on"

Yep...he was and is. But not being him isn't enough. The democratic platform for 2 cycles has essentially been, we're not Trump. Not great.

Particularly this time 20 million democrats didn't like their amazing "choices".

Pretty hard these days. Anything you say will be demonized by the right. Commie was thrown around on anything approaching sicial justice.
